Details
Krug Grande Cuvée
The only Prestigée Cuvée by legendary Maison Krug produced on a yearly basis, the legendary Krug Grande Cuvée embodies the essence of traditional Champagne craftmanship.
Indeed, this exquisite Non-vintage Champagne is made from a blend of 120 wines coming from 10 different vintages, some of which are up to 15 years of age.
This exquisite Champagne Gran Cuvée is made from the three traditional varieties of the AOC Champagne: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, sourced from 250 vineyards.
The wines were first fermented and aged in used 250-litre barrels, after which they were added sugar to complete secondary fermentation inside the bottle. Krug Grande Cuvée was aged for a minimum of 7 years before hitting the market.
Produced by Krug, the Holy Grail of Champagnes, this is arguably the world's absolute best non-vintage Champagne.
